McDonald's incident

[Torrasque]

Both are in the wrong, but the customers had it coming. If he only used his fists to get them to back off i would side with him, but he went over the line with the metal and the hitting while they were down.

If he won't take your money either get out another bill or leave, jump over the counter and scream at the employee? That is stupid for many reasons.

1. It is a shitty job I have little to no tolerance for morons
2. I take that plus the fact that a yelling customer puts worker on edge
3. Hit the employee or give them a reason to have to defend themself.

What do you get? Violence!

Sorry, but you don't get to cry because you lost the fight you started.

You don't?
What is this madness you speak of?!

They deserved to be beaten with a metal rod? That's too much for me to believe they deserved it. Honestly, that's a whole lot of violence to have "deserved it" in my book.
Then again, almost any amount of violence is too much for me so...

lol, this is even more appropriate given your Fluttershy avatar xD

Are you trying to say that Fluttershy wouldn't, as they say, "smack a hoe"?

No, it is just ironic that this

Then again, almost any amount of violence is too much for me so...is something that I can see Fluttershy saying.

Pft, you don't beat people with a metal bar...when there are witnesses.

You certainly don't keep beating them when they are down when there are witnesses.

If it's just the two of you, you can make up whatever story you want, though. Even so, better be a good one.

Girls acted like twats, but twats still don't deserve to have their skulls bashed in with a metal rod.

This stupid fucking "eye for an eye" attitude of retarded 14-year-olds on the internet is not even funny to read anymore.

 

[slacker09]

While the two women did start it, I feel the cashier went too far. He seemed to keep hitting them even after they were down which, unless they were drawing weapons while on the ground, is unnecessary. Had he stopped hitting after they fell I would be completely on the cashiers side.

Christ, what a horrendously stupid incident.
Lock 'em all up and throw away the key. At the very least it'll take those three idiots out of the breeding equation for a few years and possibly contribute to a slightly more intelligent society down the line.

Funny how stuff like that doesn't happen here. Makes you think there's something in the water over there. -.-

We get our bits of crazy shit happening here in Canada, but since: we have less people, the many different societal differences, and are not bombarded by fear anger and hate all the time, it is less frequent.
But that is a topic for another thread.

A stupid incident indeed it is.

 

[Torrasque]

This thread again?

As I said in the first one, he should have stopped a few hits earlier, unless they were threatening to kill him while they laid on the ground. If so, keep swinging.

Goddamnit, I knew someone would beat me to it =|
Sorry everyone for the double thread, I even did a search for it ;_;

 

[Thaius]

Those customers are largely to blame; I won't deny that. That said, the employee also needs to be punished for such an awful reaction. That just wasn't okay.

I think it is less ironic and more appropriate like you originally said, but games in semantics aside I still stand by the idea that over the top unnecessary violence is not the answer.

They had it coming up until he continued beating them after they were on the ground. The bitches slapped him, and then one jumped the counter while the other one who was too fat to jump that high had to walk around. They were trying to close the distance so they could continue assaulting him and he defended himself, until he kept pounding on them after they were down.

 

[CM156_v1legacy]

I'm glad you've decided to go for my comment and insinuate I'd have done nothing about it, and try to assert that the best course of action would be to beat two people senseless with a metal rod.

Doing "nothing" and "beating them with a metal rod" are clearly the only options! It's not like he could've called a manager before the altercation got physical.

I'm with you on that one. It's a false dichotomy. Were they being stupid? Sure. Does that excuse what he did? Noooooooooo

I'll agree that this whole Lex Talionis attitude on the internet has gone too far. If they're a threat to your life, use force like this. But in this case, they clearly weren't.

It's almost as bad as the people who are "hypothetical badasses" and more or less post this, but are actually serious:

Someone hit me with a metal bar? Psh, I know Kung Fu.

 

[NobodyHereButUsTrees]

Maybe one or two smacks with the rod was called for, but definitely not smashing them 7-8 times when they were down.

Agreed.
Responding to violence with violence is a bad answer, but unfortunately, it is the easiest answer to choose =/

Just saying, that's not ironic... It's "fitting".

OT: Yeah, they deserved it. He was provoked, and they followed him behind the counter. Stupid.

Huh? Less frequent than where? ... Are you mistaking me for an American? -.-°
